We claim to want to change our circumstances. We do a few things right and experience a few wins and then everything seems to go on a lull. It takes so long that at some point we simply give up. It is not happening quickly enough to keep us working on it.

“There is a problem”, “What’s the problem?”, “Oh, it is a real mess”, “Who did this?”, “We need to fix this problem”. This is the reason it takes that long. I am not advocating for wishing wrongs away here. Let us take a moment to notice how much attention and energy we give to problems and consequently fuel them.

We are so conditioned to perceive life from the wrong perspective that even as we have more knowledge, access to information, tools and networks that should catapult your advancement, it just isn’t happening.

It isn’t happening because we have chosen to use our fast-paced world to blame everyone other than ourselves for the problem. We have experienced this; it has been consciously or unconsciously taught and modelled all around us.

We have over time accepted and even embraced it as normal. It has become our reality because we have nurtured it over the years albeit unconsciously. If we are not the beneficiaries of this worldview, we’ve got to stop and ask ourselves who is.

This is another issue that we avoid like the plague because we are afraid to challenge the status quo. There must be some other un-named enemy out there working tirelessly to frustrate our advancement. This is common belief. It is a system of thinking, feeling and acting that was here way before our time.

Know that we do not have to change the system. What is required is that we reverse the clock on this brainwashing and apply our higher intellect to perceive this from a point of power.

A point of raised consciousness — from which we have a choice on the matter. A point from which we take the decision to withdraw from the “problem conditioning”.

As we do this, we must be wise enough to anticipate that the system is built complete with a module that helps it fight back when challenged — it calls us unflattering names, and label us a idealistic, unhinged, disconnected, naïve and even antagonistic.

The purpose of this module of the system is to ostracise and isolate us and prevent the brainwashed masses from catching our raised awareness. The point is to preserve the system as is.

This is the reason why few who have come before us have dared to challenge it. Most have been subdued into blind conformity or been pushed into quiet disobedience both which do not yield any improvement in our circumstances.

Now that you know this, you can beat the system by anticipating it’s very powerful mind-games. You can render it totally harmless to your progressive thinking.

This knowledge paves the way for your personal power to steadily fuel forward progress allowing you to change your circumstances for the better.

We have got to learn to control our inner power or continue to let the system control it for us.
